In Memory of Wilma Weekes
by Carmen Sandoval
A warming smile. . .adisarming
twinkle of the eyes. . .a word of
thanks. . .words of encouragement. . .a love and devotion for
a college and its people. . .an
intimate relationship with God. . .
remembering people in special
ways. . .Mrs. Weekes.
Mrs. Wilma Weekes and 1 met
with my arrival on campus in
1970. Although I did not like the
position she occupied, that of bookkeeping, and the times I had to
talk with her "officially" about
my account—through those times
I grew to love and admire her.
She made the problems seem minor with a joke; she made the pain
of paying the bill a pleasure and
after endless or seemingly endless
hours spent inthe registration line,
she was the one with the pertect
witticism on the tip of her tongue
to alleviate the hassle, frustration
and pressure.
The business office was filled
with the laughter of her and others,
at her latest antic. While serving
as Banner editor during the seventies, Mrs. Weekes was always the
one who wrote me a note expressing appreciation for the long hours
of work, for the cute story she enjoyed or justtosay, "hanginthere,
someone really cares." She even
dropped a note to my parents while
corresponding with them about the
account and expressed her appreciation for my work.
She always made the toughest
ideas seem infinitely simple with
a quick, concise explanation.
When she made the move to
financial aid director 1 was
thrilled. . .Now more students
could become involved with this
beautiful woman who was in love
with the college and those associated with it.
I always knew when she was
coming down the hall there was always a cheery hello as she passed
by my office, a note of encouragement or a song in her heart.
When she enrolled in the journalism class I knew it was going to
be an unusual semester. And it
was. She was quick and responsive
and kept me on my toes. Even
when she was in bed and even as
the cancer began to gnaw at her
body, she was more concerned with
how the Banner and myself were
coming along and if she had completed her stories by the right
deadline, than with her own
dition.
She was always more concerned
about those around her, her family
of four children, Sharon, James,
Marian Jo and Vicki; her college,
her friends, her associates and
her students.
Mrs. Weekes came to CBC in
1963 as bookkepper after having
served in the same capacity at
Hawaii Baptist Academy.
Her legacy and her contributions will continue forever, for
they were not etched in an office,
in a paper, in a job, or even in
this college, but they were etched
forever in the hearts of those
around her.

Early semester
system - yes or no
CBC students who have grown
accustomed to the traditional semester system on campus, maybe
in for a change next fall if the
proposed early semester system
meets approval this year.
According to Tim Newman, ASB
president, the ASB office has been
working for months in hopes of
converting to the new system. "I
think the difference in our attempts
this year is the attitude of the administration. They are right behind
us, along with the faculty senate
who also voted in favor of the
change;" he said.
Now on the traditional semester
system, the fall semester continues after the Christmas holidays. With the change, the school
yeair will begin a few weeks earlier
and thus the fall semester will
end before Christmas. After surveying several other Baptist affiliated colleges, results showed
that only three schools of those
polled including Cal Baptist, remain on the traditional system.
"Most ofthe schools had no trouble converting to the new system," saidTim. "It was very popular with the faculty and the students."
Singers at the
Convention
Thjs year the state convention
will welcome the beautiful sounds
of Rhapsody, Trouveres and Chapel Choir.
Chapel Choir, the largest singing group on campus will be performing 'The Heavens Are Telling." Debi Cheek, Lee Hansard,
and Gary Koffman have been selected as soloists for this evening.
Those three soloists will be
singing another night as Trouveres
step on stage. Trouveres will perform during the pastor's conference. Instrumentalists will participate in the congregational singing.
Rhapsody will be under the spot
light as the State Convention continues.
With entertainment such as these
groups are able to give, the state
convention attendants should enjoy
these talented musicians and CBC
will be well represented.
In an ASB survey conducted at
CBC, statistics showed the vast
majority of students and teachers
to be in favor of the change. Individual statistics, based on approximately 300 students, included
married and un-married students,
on and off campus students, all
classifications, those who work
all-year round, duringthe summer
and those who don't work at all.
On the average, 68 percent of the
students strongly favored the
change, 4.5 percent were strongly
opposed, and 3 percent remained
undecided. Ofthe teachers polled,
29 percent favored the change as
a permanent school calendar, 29
percent favored using it as an experimental program, 33.5 percent
favored using it as a beginning
step toward the 4-1 -4 school calendar, and 8.5 percent felt it completely unsatisfactory.
"I also checked with the Chamber of Commerce of Riverside to
discover how the employment opportunities would be effected,"
said Tim. "By beginning the year
earlier, Cal Baptist students can
be a jump ahead. The advantages
ofthe early semester system definitely outweigh the disadvantages."

Marathon volleyball
What do you call 24 men and
women playing volleyball for 30
hours? Very Nutty People?!! Perhaps, but their intentions are good,
for they are playing a Marathon
Volleyball Game for the benefit of
women's athletics.
The Marathon Volleyball game
will begin Friday at 6:30 p.m. and
will continue until 12:30 a.m. Sunday, just in time to catch some
sleep for church. There will be
four teams of six players each.
Each team will play for four hours
then sleep four hours, while the
other two teams continue the game.
Each member ofthe four teams
playing volleyball are asked to have
sponsors who will donate so much
money for every hour the participators manage to combine their
talents to play this vigorous game.
All proceeds will go towards some
.of the necessities of the women
athletes, such as 30-second timers,
uniforms, etc.
Many people imagine that the
players will, after playing their
first four hours, begin to repeat in unison. . .What am 1 doin'
here?! I hate volleyball! However
only time will tell, whether the
players will be able to continue
•the rigorous pressure of spike after spike after, spike. . .or they'll
begin to fall to the floor and cry
for some sleep.
There will be a can at the door
for donations towards this worthy
cause. If you wish to sponsor a
man or woman contact Coach Pat
Kerschner or the Banner office.
